Chapter 494: End of the Trial
The long blade pierced through the Dark King's eyeball and penetrated his brain.
The Dark King looked like a dead fish washed up on the beach. He could only twitch, but he couldn't fight back.
Qing Gang Yin's energy began to actively flow into his body, and after ten seconds, the Dark King's nervous system collapsed, but even now, he still hadn't died.
Bubtney soon also came up to him and started biting and scratching at his body, while Su Xiao repeatedly threw punches at his body.
Due to his severe injuries, Su Xiao sat down on the ground several times.
Two minutes later, Bubtney stepped aside with a dejected expression on his face.
The Dark King's skin was too hard for him to bite through.
Su Xiao, after resting for a while, stood up, and the Dragon Flash in his hand bloomed with an azure light. Qing Gang Yin, after working for ten minutes, turned on her terrifying feature.
The blade of the sword immediately cut the Dark King's throat.
As soon as the notification about killing the Dark King appeared, Su Xiao felt a burning sensation on the back of his hand.
The blood-red mark flickered and a wisp of black smoke shot out from the Dark King's body.
This smoke was black and seemed to be able to absorb all the light in this world.
The demon's power was gradually absorbed by the devil's mark, and the Dark King's body quickly withered, and large cracks appeared on his hard skin.
Su Xiao didn't worry about it, for this mark was on the surface of his body and because of Qing Gang Yin's energy, it couldn't harm him.
The Devil's Mark stopped sucking the smoke out of the Dark King's body after it increased by a full five levels. If it was improved by donating unnecessary equipment, he would have to pay a fortune for it.
After checking the description of the devil's mark, Su Xiao smiled.
[Devil's Mark: Level 7 (Passive Skill).
Skill Effect: Each attack will deal an additional 28 (+15) points of true damage..
You can increase the power of this skill by sacrificing items..
The presence of the Devil's Mark signals that you are recognized as a Higher Demon.]
The Level 7 Devil's Mark looked very strong and now added 28 points of true damage to each of his attacks.
After quickly putting away the demon box, Su Xiao realized that he needed to hide somewhere and recover as soon as possible.
Looking around, with the exception of the trees and rocks nearby, Su Xiao's eyes only caught on the mine that the Dark King was hiding in earlier.
It was a very good hiding place.
— Bubtney, let's go there.
Bubtney looked confused and quickly shook his head, and his eyes seemed to want to say, " Master, I recently peed in there».
— It's okay, we'll stop in the depths of this mine.
Bubtney heard this and reluctantly went to the shaft, sniffed, and realized that there was nothing in the air.
After standing and listening for a while near the shaft, Bubtney realized that it was very quiet there.
Su Xiao threw the Dark King's body into the mine and cleaned up the traces of the battle.
Standing in front of the mine, Su Xiao thought for a moment.
After cutting down a couple of trees nearby and tying them together, he began to slowly lower the Mumblers to the bottom of the shaft.
— Woof!
Hearing Bubtney's barking, Su Xiao used the thread and sword to slowly descend.
When Su Xiao was next to Bubtney, he bumped into the wall of the shaft.
Right now, he really needed to rest. Multiple fractures and heavy blood loss along with other injuries forced him to fall asleep as quickly as possible.
The mine was a relatively safe point in the Black Forest. The fact that the Dark King chose to sleep in it already showed how safe it was.
The wild boar only found this mine because of its luck, otherwise it would have been difficult for Su Xiao to find the Dark King.
They had enough food and fresh water, so Su Xiao and Bubtni would be able to hide in this mine for a long time.
The sky gradually became darker, and the black fog in the forest became less and less.
Su Xiao was half-delirious due to his injuries. If it wasn't for the Mumbles and the peculiarity of the scabbard, he might have died from all those injuries in this mine.
The ribs stabbing into his internal organs caused him to feel immense pain.
But thanks to Bubtni's aura and scabbard skill, Su Xiao didn't die from all these serious injuries, but to fully recover, he either needed to use a very good recovery item or just return to the Reincarnation Paradise.
Time flew by very quickly, and after a while, Su Xiao woke up in the mine for the fourth time.
Although he felt as if his chest was being weighed down by a rock and his normal breathing was difficult, he was fortunately not in any danger at the moment.
After checking the timer, Su Xiao was stunned.
— I was in a coma for almost three days... With injuries like this, it's not hard to die, " Su Xiao muttered after checking his status and seeing a few blood-red warnings.
He hadn't expected the Dark King to be so strong. But it taught him a lesson. In the future, he will not recklessly enter areas with a danger level of 20 or higher.
As for the hidden mission, it was already considered completed, however, to receive the reward, he had to return to the Reincarnation Paradise.
And Su Xiao didn't plan on going out. The facts proved that although this mine was located in the Black Forest, it was very safe in it.
----
Normal area, in a meadow.
At this time, the previously safe area was very busy.
A large group of wild beasts were desperately fleeing for their lives as a huge amount of undead surged out of the black forest, not only undead, but also creatures that looked like the Dark King.
Almost all contractors tried to escape to the area with red soil, because previously the safe zone became the territory of the undead, but not everyone managed to do this.
Just three hours after the fog disappeared, the previously safe area was completely overrun by powerful undead.
The stone bridge connecting the two territories was empty. Countless undead were standing in front of the stone bridge, not daring to move an inch.
A pale old man emerged from the undead horde. Not only was the old man bald — he had no eyebrows or beard.
— Why don't you let us pass.
The old man looks exactly like a human, but it wasn't a human, but someone from the void race. All the strong people who lived in the forest were criminals who were exiled to Devouring Island for one reason or another.
The Mouse Lord stood on the stone bridge and didn't move.
— I told you, you're not allowed to go any further.
After the fog disappeared, the difficulty of the Devouring Island increased by an order of magnitude, so the Mouse Lord was forced to stand on this bridge at the direction of Paradise, because otherwise less than ten contractors would have survived in the end.
The pale old man looked at the Mouse Lord.
— You...
— Don't waste my time. I'll just ask you once. Do you want to go further? Mouse Lord asked and looked at the pale old man. He had seen this scene too many times.
The pale old man clenched his fists tightly.
— Do not forget... Mouse Lord's voice suddenly disappeared, however, the pale old man's body was trembling more and more, and his expression began to show fright.
— In three hours, you will be able to attack this area, but not now, Dagon! Mouse Lord roared, and the pale old man turned around and left without daring to say anything.
The Mouse Lord wasn't that scary, but the people who stood behind him were too big of a figure.
Three hours passed in the blink of an eye.
A total of 36 contractors were able to survive until the end of this test.
Five hundred and one contractors took part in this test, but only 36 contractors were able to survive until the end of it.
The survival rate was less than one tenth.
On the territory with red soil, in the valley.
Woosung leaned against the stone wall next to Barr, who had died not too long ago.
— Cough, cough, cough~... Woosung spat out some blood with some reluctance in his eyes. "Haha, it turns out that this is the main culprit behind all this," Wusang said and looked at his two severed hands, then smiled wryly.
They entered the cave and were supposed to prevent the fog from dissipating, but unfortunately...
